Eminence. By design.

The concept of becoming a thought leader is overwhelming to most executives. Particularly when they are busy growing the business, running a practice, and hiring + developing talent. Taking deliberate steps right at the outset – including getting a grip on what clients' value and what your leaders expect – can put you on the right path. And, finding catalysts will help get ideas from thought to market.

Thought leadership: Building rock bands, not rock stars.

The digital revolution has cleared the way for experts to be discovered. Social media provides a powerful way to build a fan base among clients and industry watchers. Smart, polished, brand-building videos allow leaders to be seen and heard while coming across as approachable and likeable. Live performances, such as in-person keynotes and client meetings, remain a critical way to connect to the paying public. This session looks at how to help leaders move from invisible to visible.
